sorry for post

Man I went back and forth on this so much, eventually called clove at the last minute and changed to white. Grey looks awesome though! I just thought the white showed off the body styling a bit more, and the glossy edges didn't stand out as much on the white. Plus I can find where I put it down much easier

White without a shadow of doubt... It just stands out and really shows of the curve and design of the phone. I've had the phone a few days now and there is still not many people out there using White phones will also makes you feel a little unique haha.

I was also undecided about which color to get but eventually I ordered the white one.

I like both but after seeing them both I went for the dark one.

It has to be white.
This phone is made to be white, it looks absolutely fantastic.
If I could only get grey, I wouldn't get one at all. The difference is night and day.

White looks great BUT get's dirty very quickly and could stain much more easily. I put my white SGS2 down on a desk at work and afterwards had a small blue stain from a drop of ink or so on it. It took a lot of cleaning alcohol and rubbing before that had faded away! With the 'texture' on the back of the One X I'm not sure that would ever come off.....so black it was for me this time ;-)

Grey here.
The White will end up a piss stained yellow eventually, regardless of claims made. The iPhones don't suffer such a fate because of the glass. Any polycarbonate discolours in time.
I also don't like the fact the white makes the phone more easily identifiable in public. People will know what it is as soon as you pull it out of your pocket. That's just asking for trouble.
It's a shame because overall I think the white looks stunning but there's just too much unknown risk for comfort.

I can wipe the ink marks easily. I saw some videos with some one writing with a ball pen on the back of white one x and wiping it so easily. So, I am with white.

there are already problems with the white one getting dirty and can't be cleaned
i got a dark one... seems better to me

It really depends on how you look after your phone...but here is the real truth. The polycarbonate body isn't all that tough despite what HTC have said. The white one IS stain resistant but not stain proof!!
But the real issues actually lie with the grey one.
1) It is a fingerprint magnet. Even cleaning it with a damp cloth doesn't remove the fingerprints easily. You will need mild detergent mixed with water on the cloth.
2) It goes SHINY when scuffed. In fact, a few grey models I saw were actually slightly marked out of the box from new.
3) Rubbing at it over time, such as in a pocket or from brisk cleaning, may cause the finish to change where this happened.
The big advantage of the white one, is that the texture differences are much less visible especially if rubbed or has fingermarks and is actually, and surprisingly, likely to look better if not exposed to too much staining risk.
Having said all of that, I think the grey looks more refined and sophisticated. BUT, I ended up with a white one for what I consider those practical reasons above. I absolutely hate when matte surfaces go shiny when they get rubbed/scratched etc.
The Xperia S is the absolute WORST plastic phone for a long time. A fantastic phone badly let down by the choice of casing material. The black matte surface rubs off VERY VERY easily. The white one stains almost immediately you have it and the staining doesn't come off.
This is one area I think Apple have pegged. The iPhone 4/4S phones simply do not age with careful-normal usage. A good choice of metal and scratch resistant glass surfaces. OR HTC should do what they did with phones like the Evo 3D, where you can replace the whole back with a new one when it gets scruffy.

Black? they only do White and Gray

Bought TWO WHITES ones... one for me and one for my wife... now having difficulty to differentiate between both ... but White is outstanding..

mm
100 % grey

Has to be white, looks absolutely amazing in white!

Buying mine tomorrow and leaning towards the dark one

Anyway answering to your question... I have a while one, my brother has a white one, my other brother has a grey one who's now switching to a white one after seeing my white one

White!!
Oredered a white without seeing in real life. It was really beautiful when i first saw it. Nog i've send it Doa , and in the mean time I saw a grey one live in a shop. So if I wanted too I could get a grey one now, but there is no doubt I'm getting a white one again!!
I really didn't like the grey one... It looks like just another dark rectangle smartphone... You don't see the design as with the white one.
The grey one in the shop was full with fingerprints, smudge, uneven coloring, just weird. And the white one was as new...
And that from a guy that never tought he would want a white cell phone:d.

White and hopefully an invisishield is made soon incase of spills

White vs Grey, which one do you prefer?

Easy question. I'm going to buy this device very soon and I'm torn between the two. In one hand the white looks so 'in your face' and sexy, but i'm afraid it will get dirty extremely easily. On the other hand, the black is sleek and classy but honestly I like the white better; however, I'm afraid it will get dirty very fast and look bad.
What does XDA think? Which is your favorite color?

I think white bezels distract too much from the screen even though the white hox looks prettier, grey is more functional.

Grey because white will show marks more over time, also white makes it look to iphoney.

I have a white, had it for over a month and it's no dirty. Granted, I haven't been doing any dirty work.
Also, the bezel is pretty small, especially at the sides, you don't notice it, it's lively screen.
And my white one could hardly be mistaken for an iPhone!
Never seen a grey one, apparently the back goes shiny with wear.

White definitely looks better to me but I got myself the gray one because of the earlier mentioned worry that it probably will get dirty and white plastic tends to bleach (is this the right word?) and turn yellow over time and this might affect the future resell value (+ it looks really ugly). Also the gray one looks a bit more professional.

I have the white one, wish I'd bought grey

At first I definitely wanted the white one, but after a while I started to doubt and nearly changed my order to the Grey one. I had not yet seen either devices in real life, though I think I got a peek from the Grey device during class. It looked absolutely terrible imo.
When the white one arrived I was so happy I didn't change my order. Still am .

White would look really nice if the screen bezel was white. However with the black bezel its fugly!

I got grey. The white looks awesome but didn't want to deal with it getting dirty

I got a grey one because it looks classy and there is a sort of harmony between the screen and the color ( and i heard the white one get scratched more easily )

Grey will make it look bigger.
The white one will give the illusion that its smaller, you'll be looking at the screen only at first glance.

No..its the grey one that scratches more easily....

Let's make this clear, the white one does not get dirty, any marks I've got on it have rubbed straight off. Some grey ones have a problem with an oily shiny look when in contact with something for a while, infact its probably just the polycarbonate, the white one probably gets it too but because its white its much less noticeable. I don't understand what people mean by it looks smaller, but it Deffo looks better then the grey

I have a Nokia C5 its back side is of Grey colour look so shiny and attractive, you are right white colour can be easily dirty and if you got scratches or anything on your phone hope not, they will look so visible. But doesnt matter if you take care of your phone, If your mind says White then go for White.

White is definitely sexier. (Imo, the grey version is ugly as hell)

The grey one goes shiny if you scratch it or rub at it and it doesn't come off like finger oil/grease. The white one doesn't show these marks as easily. Honestly, if its durability from scratches, the white one is the better choice. Nobody knows how the white one discolours over months yet....that remains to be seen.

white only because when you look from the screen side it looks better, and i prefer the silver ring and not the brown (?) ring.

Grey all day...
White phones are for girls as good ol Jobsy said.

White is more premium

[Q] Choose the black or white version?

I can't decide which color to buy the phone in.
Black or white.
I think it depends on three things.
1) how does the backside pattern look in black, how does it look in white.
2) how do the colors of the LED-button look in combination with a black/white case
3) some phone look generally better in black, some better in white.
LG E986

I bought it in white due to the fingerprints on black version you have to clean the backside again and again. And it looks pretty awesome jn white trust me.
Again its your call. Which one you would like to go for.

What colour

Morning all, I'm off to buy a g3 today my HTC one is due a upgrade, so what colour are you guys using

Get the one YOU prefer. Tip!

I'm thinking white, but not sure if it's a bit girly

"Girly". Pft...
Anyway I like the white one.

I have the white. It's quite nice

White it Is then ?

Anyone recommend a good screen protector, would be good if carphone warehouse sold them

Get a glass protector, like 10$ for a icarez on amazon and worth the wait.
I went in wanting white but when the rep showed me her personal white g3 it was filthy so I decided to get black/grey whatever it is. Sometimes I wish I had gotten the white for the contrast around the sides if the screen but o well.

I got the violet one . Wanted to take the black but I've always chosen black for my past phones and I'm afraid white would get dirty easily . Not a fan of gold and I regretted not taking the purple when choosing the z so I took the violet for the g3

just picked it up, there is a little lag other than that it looks ok.
will take me a while to get used to it having been a htc user for the past few years

Get the white one. It looks awesome. But it would be better if you can see the colors in person to judge on your own. I seen and held all three. Gold seemed a little too flashy for my taste and I had a grey Note 2 previously so wanted a change.
That being said. I feel the white one looks the best. Classy & goes well with cases. Don't think it looks girly anyway. Does the white Nexus 5 look girly? I don't think so. Same goes for this phone.

WHITE
I thought long and hard about this. I went to the verizon store and held both in my hand and kept going back and forth between the two but settled on white and I think it was a good choice. It's sexier.

I've picked the white, fantastic phone

Carbon Fiber Black (thanks to the robots at DBrand!)

I dont think the screen is as good. I think my old ONE was a little better

I now have both gold and grey now and without a doubt I prefer the gold which considering I don't like gold things is saying something.

Black or Blue, its about astetics?

Google Pixel XL Black 128 or Blue 32? Got both on order but don't know which one to keep. I don't mind the storage difference, the blue's back looks fantastic but the white front is kind of meh. With Black I can just use any case and not have to worry about a clear one showing off its back. But then its just another black phone.

The black front is really more of a dark gray. Actually, the whole thing is more gray than black. When I preordered, the blue was already sold out, otherwise I probably would have gotten that.
